"Stelena are the moyo and soul of the show." "Elena will always upendo Stefan and put him first." "Elena will always choose Stefan, she alisema so herself." "The pembetatu isn't real, it's just a gimmick to sell the show." "The producers have pretty much alisema that Damon will never be good enough for Elena." "The writers have made it clear kwa now that Elena will never upendo Damon." "And that is why..." "And that is why..." "And that is why..." "Delena will never be together." "Delena will never be a reality." "You're wrong to ship DE." "Stelena are the one true upendo story of the show."

However passionate we are about our ship, it can sometimes be difficult to remain optimistic in the face of such constant negativity. Arguments abound on all sides: from Stelena fans, from Stefan fans, 'Team Defan' fans, the producers, mashabiki who don't ship any couple but still criticise DE from every angle, and perhaps most depressingly of all, Damon mashabiki who once liked DE but have become so disillusioned with the progression of the triangle, they have accepted defeat and grudgingly conceded that Stelena will be endgame,...

Everything that has anything to do with upendo reminds me of Delena somehow, because Damon and Elena have every aspect of upendo in their relationship. But it doesn’t make sense in my opinion to compare different stories, because each movie, TV show, book au whatever else is totally different, even if they belong to the same genre, and the upendo story of Damon and Elena is even zaidi special than all of the others. I want to say a few words to Delena in comparison to some other vampire stories anyway, because I so often read about it (I know, saying that it doesn’t make sense and still doing it myself, I realized that).

In "Buffy", Buffy started a relationship with Spike LONG after Angel left Sunnydale. There was never a situation on the onyesha where Buffy had to choose between Angel and Spike, because there was so much time between the two relationships. Angel and Spike only dealt with the difficulty of them both loving Buffy in the fifth Season of "Angel", but none of them was with Buffy at that time, and they had to deal with all of their problems that started CENTURIES before Buffy was even born (their different lifestyles, Drusilla, competing with each other, …).

Bonnie closed her suitcase and lifted it from the ground. She carried it, but it was really heavy. She needed Caroline for this. After all she would need a place to stay when she left the clinic. Which was today. She had signed her release. “Are wewe going somewhere?” a male voice asked. Bonnie waited for Keith to catch up with her. Maybe he could carry her suitcase for her. And indeed, as soon as he was standing inayofuata to her he said: “Here, let me do that” He took the suitcase out of her hands and released Bonnie from her burden. “So, are wewe leaving?” he asked. “Yeah, I feel a lot better” Bonnie said. “Besides my Marafiki need me” “The sick one?” Keith asked. “No. According to Caroline the herbs did their job and Elena’s fine” Bonnie said. “It’s Damon who needs me, though he will never admit it” “But wewe tortured him, which means wewe pissed him off. Plus he’s a vampire, he can kill you” Keith alisema concerned. “You should stay here. This is a good hiding place”

Elena opened the door of the Boarding House. As she passed the living room she saw Damon sitting in the couch, his back to her. She wanted to sneak away, but… “Elena! Get your punda in here now!” Damon said. He sounded furious and so Elena rushed to him. She looked at him and startled. She had never seen him this angry. “What’s wrong? Did I do something?” she asked careful. Damon looked at Stefan, who came out of the study room. “I’m sorry, Elena. I thought he knew” he alisema sad. “Knew what? What is going on?” Elena exclaimed. “Will wewe stop playing dumb?” Damon alisema angry and he jumped up from the couch. “What happened last time wewe visited Stefan?” Elena swallowed. “Did Rebekah force wewe to drink her blood?” Damon asked upfront. Elena looked at him scared. Then she nodded. “Why didn’t wewe tell me?” Damon asked, breathing heavy through his nose. “Because I blamed you!” Elena defended herself. “You’re so…awful lately and sometimes I feel I just can’t talk to you”

“Caroline!” Caroline was walking on the parking lot of the school. Her conversation with Matt had lasted longer than either of them had expected. She recognized Tyler’s voice, but didn’t bother to turn around. When she reached her car and opened the door Tyler rushed to her and slammed the door. “Tyler!” Caroline exclaimed reproaching. “I’m sorry” Tyler said. He took a deep breath. “I saw wewe talking to Matt” he started. Caroline quickly turned around. “Oh no. No, no, no, no. wewe do not get to play jealous boyfriend. wewe had your shot, wewe blew it. Now wewe can go back to Victoria for all I care” she alisema angry. “Veronica” Tyler corrected her. “Whatever” Caroline replied. “Caroline, I’m not with her because I want to” Tyler said. “She’s up to something. She wants to kill everyone that’s not human and your name is literally on her list” Caroline frowned. “Does she have anything to do with those taxes?” she asked. “Probably, though she acts like she doesn’t know what I am” Tyler said.

“Where’s Barbie?” Katherine asked when Stefan was standing on the front porch of the Boarding House. She had gotten used to the sight of him with Rebekah. “She’s out, doing something” Stefan explained vague. “Can I come in?” Katherine shrugged and let him pass. Stefan turned around. “I’m looking for Elena. Is she here?” “No, she’s at school. wewe should know that” Katherine alisema uninterested. “Not anymore she isn’t” Stefan said. “School’s over” “Then she’s probably at the Grill” Katherine said, a little annoyed. “What do wewe need her for anyway?” “I want to apologize for what happened last time she came over” Stefan said. “And I want to make sure she’s okay. I mean, I know Rebekah’s blood already left her system kwa now, but still, it must have freaked her out” He looked at Katherine who stared at some point behind Stefan. Stefan quickly turned around and saw Damon standing in the doorway.

School was over and Elena was walking outside kwa herself. Caroline and Matt were talking, while Tyler was watching them from afar. As soon as Elena was out of school area someone grabbed her arm and pulled her along. “Hey!” she exclaimed when she saw Derek. “What are wewe doing?” “I need to onyesha wewe something” Derek alisema excited. Without awaiting Elena’s approval he dragged her along until they were standing in front of an old building. “What is this?” Elena asked. “Did Damon put wewe up to this?” Derek shook his head. “He doesn’t know” He opened the door carefully and sneaked inside. Without looking at her, he waved and Elena followed him. Hiding behind a trestle they watched several people in sport outfits. They were sweating and doing something that looked like training. “What are they doing?” Elena asked. “They’re training. They have to be strong enough when they’re going to take all Supernatural beings down” Derek explained. “Wow, this Veronica chick is taking this really serious, isn’t she” Elena said, with a whiff of admiration. “How did she convince these people to join...

Elena gripped the railing of the staircase as she rushed down. She only had about ten dakika before he’d realize she had left. Taking the last step she rushed over the kitanda and grabbed her bag and the keys. Walking towards the door she looked around the boarding house, everything was still and quite. She smiled to herself sadly before opening the door and looking around one last time. Making sure she had her phone she run to the car before throwing the door open and turning it on. Biting her lip she realized Damon would be nyumbani in about five minutes, giving her that long to get as far away as possible. Pulling out of the driveway speeding off she knew he’d come to find a note left on his mto that read.

Dear Damon,

Before wewe freak out know that noone took me, I left on my own. And before wewe just jump to ideas, no I didn’t run off with Stefan au anyone else for that matter, I’m alone.

Your probably wondering why I left, and well it’s because wewe desereve better. wewe deserve the upendo of someone amazing, and I’m not that person. These past few weeks you’ve spent all your time on me, teaching me, keeping me safe,...

1) Holding On and Letting Go kwa Ross Copperman: The first real kiss of Damon and Elena in the episode The New Deal. On the porch which made it even better than the dying kiss. Damon was tired for feeling guilty for nothing, so he took matters in his own hands. It’s not like Elena turned him down. She wanted that kiss to. Elena said, “This is right.” Damon responds, “right now. It’s not right now.” (words might of been changed.) So even though she didn’t choose him in the finally, there’s still a strong chance.

2) All I Need kwa Within Temptation: This song is Delena all the way. It’s from the Miss Mystic Falls episode. When Damon stepped up to make sure Elena’s dance went well while is idiot brother was dealing his blood lust. Damon’s face when she came down the stairs alisema it all. This was the first time we saw that look. In Georgia we saw a friendship form. In Isobel it was announced that he loved her but we knew before just kwa that look. Plus the look she gave him. Then the dance itself they were beautiful together. The small smiles they shared (more of Damon smirking) was a tear jerker.

So okay fine, Stefan is her confidant. Stefan let’s her make her own choices. Stefan blah blah slit my wrists. But Damon. Damon makes all the little gestures, the things that don’t scream important but are zaidi important than a lot of big gestures that Stefan has made. For example, Damon steps in for Stefan at the Miss Mystic Falls pageant. Yes, it’s a small gesture, but in the grand scheme of things, he did it so Elena didn’t have to be embarrassed. He did it so Elena had a shot at winning the pageant, something that was important to her because it was important to her mother. And when she invited him to chajio, chakula cha jioni and he helped her with the dishes, they spoke honestly together. He listened as she told him how horrible she felt about not caring about things like cheerleading. He eased her mind kwa telling her to do as she pleases. And when he lifted her lifeless body off the ground after Klaus drained her in 2x21/22, he carried her over to Stefan, so she could lie there inayofuata to Stefan, and if she woke up as a vampire, scared and confused, he’d be the first person she saw and she’d feel comfort. And when they gathered in the cemetery for Jenna’s funeral, he harbored his...

Alaric had invited Elena’s doctor into his house and gave her a cup of tea, though she could use something stronger. “I’ve never seen anything like that” she alisema trembling. Jenna, invisible to both Alaric and the doctor, was sitting on the dresser and rolled her eyes. “What did the ghost look like?” Ric asked. “Dark blonde hair, green eyes. She looked pretty” the doctor said. Jenna smirked. The doctor noticed a picture. “Wait, can I see that picture?” she asked. Ric gave her a picture with Elena, Jeremy and Jenna. The doctor pointed at Jenna. “That’s her. That’s the ghost I saw” “Jenna?” Alaric alisema confused. “Is that her name?” the doctor asked. Ric nodded. “She was my girlfriend” “What happened?” the doctor asked. “She was murdered” Ric answered. “Oh” the doctor said. “I’m sorry” “Yeah” Ric said. “What the hell, Ric? Why would wewe bring that up?” Jenna asked frustrated. “I should go” the doctor said. “Thanks for the tea, Mr. Saltzman”

Damon poured himself a glass of bourbon and drank it out. He spit it out. “Yeah, I put vervain in all your drinks” a familiar voice said. Damon turned around and saw Katherine standing in the doorway of the living room. “I told wewe wewe had to drink vervain again. I thought Elena would’ve convinced wewe kwa now” Damon looked away. “That’s right. Trouble in paradise” Katherine said. “If I were wewe I’d try really hard to make things okay. We don’t want her to run back to Stefan, do we?” Damon looked up angry. “She wouldn’t do that. Elena isn’t like that. I just…need to get over myself. I have to pull myself together and forget what happened” Katherine nodded. “And while wewe deal with your issues Elena is going to need someone to distract her. Because if you’re with her wewe only take your problems out on her and you’ll only push her away” Damon raised his eyebrows. “Who made wewe doctor Hitch?” “Which is why I think it would be a good idea if I moved back in. The two of wewe could use zaidi people in this house and if I have to watch Stefan and Rebekah much longer I’m going to be sick” Katherine...

Elena’s doctor was driving on the road. There was not many traffic, so she’d be at work fast. Then she’d have some time to do some paperwork. The radio was playing lame music, so she looked for a CD. While she put Switchfoot in the CD-player, she had her eyes off the road for two seconds. When she looked up again she screamed. There was a woman standing in the middle of the road. She had long, dark blonde hair, green eyes and she looked rather pale. The doctor braked and her car made a few turns before it stood still. Before she got out she needed to get her moyo beat under control. Her door opened and a familiar man appeared. “Are wewe all right?” Alaric asked concerned. The doctor nodded heavy, breathing fast. “What happened?” Alaric asked. She looked at Alaric, thinking he’d think she’s crazy. “I thought I saw a ghost” she alisema quickly as if it wouldn’t sound so insane if she alisema it fast.

Someone banged the door and Rachel jumped up. She ran to the door and opened it. Ronnie was standing in front of her, covered in blood and crying. “Can I please come in?” she asked careful. “Yeah, of course” Rachel alisema and she step aside. She closed the door. “What happened? Who did this to you?” Ronnie wiped her eyes. “Stefan Salvatore and a vampire named Rebekah. They held me in their basement and tortured me. They couldn’t eat me, because there’s vervain in my blood, but they sliced and cut in me” “I’ll take wewe to the hospital” Rachel alisema and she grabbed her keys. “Rachel?” Ronnie said. “I’m really sorry for last time. I didn’t mean it. I just thought that being Kelsey’s mother would make wewe my ally” Rachel shook her head. “I don’t want to be involved in any kind of war, Veronica. I hope wewe understand” “It’s not war, Rachel. It’s justice. If you’d came face to face with the vampire that turned Amber and the vampire that killed Kelsey, wouldn’t wewe try to avenge them?” Ronnie asked.

One mwezi later. Damon was making breakfast when Elena came into the kitchen. “Morning” she mumbled. Ever since Rebekah had forced her to drink blood she had been very distant towards Damon. This was his fault. If he hadn’t been so damn stubborn she wouldn’t have had to go help Stefan and she wouldn’t have been in that position. What if Rebekah had killed her? Then Elena would be a vampire now, all because of Damon’s brother issues. “So, eh, what are your plans today?” Damon asked, trying to be casual. He knew he had a lot to make up for. Elena shrugged. “Going to school, obviously. Hanging out in the Grill” Damon nodded. “Yeah, of course” he said. “Maybe wewe should make an appointment with Bonnie’s shrink” Elena alisema snarky. “At least she admits she needs help. You, on the other hand, wewe blame everyone around you, because it’s easier that way. But that’s not going to make the problem go away” “I know” Damon alisema soft and remorseful. “But I’m really trying, Elena”

Here's the two covers for the Comic-Con featuring Damon & Elena and Stefan & Elena.

To me, the picture of Damon and Elena seems zaidi intimate and the one with Stefan. In the one with Stefan she is facing out while he's gazing at her. She has her hand on his tie, but the pose isn't as intimate as the one with Damon. It seems like she has her sights elsewhere, while his focus is mainly on her.

In the picture with Damon, he is leaning over her zaidi intimately. She has a similar pose as she does with Stefan but her body appears zaidi molded closely to Damon's. It's almost as if the picture originally was made to feature Damon and Elena and then they made one of her with Stefan as if it were an afterthought. I could be wrong, but maybe the covers are meant to represent her transition into a vampire. Who knows.

I've noticed something in the EW picha that the trio did. To some people, they may have just seen Nina Dobrev, Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesly. But they failed to see that they were actually portraying their characters in the shoot. Can't really blame wewe though. The picha were distracting. Anyways, I always thought that the themes used in the Ian-Nina and then Paul-Nina pics meant something. White and innocent for the former. Black and seductive for the latter. I thought it was about Damon and Stefan at first so that's why I got so confused. I thought that because Damon is portrayed to be the not-so-good Salvatore that he'd get the dark theme while Stefan, being the "good" brother, would have gotten the lighter one. It made sense. But, no, the themes were interchanged.

Then it suddenly hit me. The themes weren't revolving on the two guys after all. It was about Nina. Well, zaidi specifically, her character.

There have been many posts and makala after the season three finale explaining Elena’s choice and how she wasn’t ready for Damon yet and how all Delena shippers should keep their head up because everything will be okay. There have been even zaidi rants on what a bitch, kahaba Elena is and how season three was the absolute worst and how the writers have it out for Damon. In light of all the explanations and complaints, I wanted to take time out and defend Elena Gilbert. Because although the finale was not about choosing Stefan but about not choosing Damon, Elena’s choice was not about why she was running away from Damon but why she was going back to Stefan.

The main complaint is “Elena left Damon to die alone.” Many Delena shippers have damned Elena for it and many Stelena shippers have used this as proof that she doesn’t upendo Damon. But Elena was put into an impossible situation. Upon discovering that all her vampire loved ones might die, Elena demanded that she and Matt return to them so say goodbye, only to learn the horrible truth: Damon was not with them. So Elena was forced to decide which brother she would see in possibly their last moments. So what did...

IT IS SO PAINFUL TO BE MEMBER OF THE DELENA SQUAD … BUT WE WILL NEVER GIVE UP ON DAMON AND ELENA … BECAUSE WE ARE RIGHT

The clear and outright majority of the "Vampire Diaries" mashabiki is for Damon and Elena as endgame; almost everybody wants them to be a couple and understands the story in that way. Damon is kwa far the most loved character and Delena are the couple with the most shippers kwa far. It is the same everywhere: mashabiki of the books, mashabiki of the TV show, shabiki groups, internet sides, votings, polls, comments, clicks, every other numbers, in different countries etc., and close to everybody loves Damon himself and Delena as their favourite couple. And even everybody in the story notices sooner au later that Damon and Elena upendo each other – in the vitabu and in the show, including Stefan, Elena’s friends, … and even people they just met see that right away. Some say that Elena can’t be with Damon because he is a bad boy, but character is never important in love. And anyway, Elena has a very dark trait herself in the vitabu and she and Damon are very much alike, and Stefan has his dark sides and dark times in the onyesha (ripper). Damon is not a totally...

Dear Diary Stefan. It will always be Stefan, but how can I NOT have feelings for Damon too. Sure I mean, he has had his moments, like killing my brother, and just being a dick, but he really is good inside. How can I not upendo that too.

Elena sighed put her head down on my pillow, and tried to go to sleep. Unfortunately, just like the last few days, she couldn't, not without thinking about him. Damon, she thought. I just couldn't hide my upendo for him anymore. Then I had to worry about Stefan I loved him too, I probably always would, but for some reason I feel like I'm not worthy of him. Loving his brother, I guess I really was Katherine's doppelganger. I couldn't tag him along anymore, not like I did Matt, Tomorrow I will tell him, and Damon, what I feel. With That Elena fell asleep, and she slept a peaceful sleep, which hadn't happened in a long time.

The morning was there before she let herself believe it. Her phone buzzed, a text from Stefan, "pick wewe up at 9:00am" she replied "okay meet wewe outside." She showered, got dressed, ate a bagel then waited trying to think how she was going to do this. I'll just tell Stefan I need to talk to him and...

Maybe it was silly of me, but I expected a lot zaidi from Stelena in Season 3. I thought their relationship would finally graduate from the syrupy sweet high school romance which lacked dimension into something much darker. I honestly thought that with Stefan's ripper storyline, we would really see Stelena develop and change. However, I was VERY disappointed with the results we got. Even after the most testing time of their relationship, Stelena has barely evolved at all. They went through a brief dark spell, yes, which culminated in Stefan holding Elena and the ones she loved to ransom in his attempt to get revenge on Klaus, and most notably, when he threatened to drive her off Wickery Bridge - but the consequences of this were so slight, they are hardly worth mentioning. If Damon had dared to pull this kind of stunt on Elena, there's no way she would have let him off the hook as easily as she did with Stefan. She would have felt so betrayed, it's unlikely she would have forgiven Damon until the end of the season. The only effect Stefan's actions had on his relationship with Elena was in making him feel guilty and consolidate his desire to distance himself from her,...

I'm new here and I just wanted to share my maoni on why Damon and Elena NEED to be together. I wrote this for a friend to persuade her to jiunge Delena, and this speech worked. I hope wewe like it.

​ Okay, so my speech consists of many parts. My first part is how they first met. Damon was just lying in the road, looking for his inayofuata meal, when Elena comes and talks and he hears her voice. He goes up to and say “Katherine?” “No, I’m Elena.” She replies. With that it takes him three sekunde to find out that Elena is indeed Elena and not Katherine. (Even though he probably could have figured it out with the fact she has a heartbeat.) With Stefan, after he saved her, it took him that whole summer to figure out that Elena was Elena and not Katherine. He couldn’t tell with the fact that she had a heartbeat. Sometimes Wanyonya damu are just dumb. ​

sekunde issue, their scenes between each other are amazing. They are so amazing that no one can describe the hundreds of emotions that go through your body. Granted, they are dating off-screen, but that just adds to the passion. I get all hot and bothered during their scenes,...

I think elena choosing stefan was like a sacrifice for elena ,she felt as though she was indebted to him for saving her life ,and so she chose him,this actually proves that she loves damon zaidi ,because she knew if she was to be with damon ,she would always feel guilty that she didnt choose stefan because he saved her life and all,which is why she "had to let him go" ,elena didnt choose upendo ,she chose "responsibility",meaning the responsibility which she thinks she has ,in other words "stefan".

I think my theory will be backed up in season 4 ,eg,because in the finale , stefan did not save elena,so in season 4 i believe that elena will not feel as though she has that "responsibility" for stefan...and whoever says that elena does not have the exact same feeelings for stefan ,because she is a "vampire" who has the ablity to "shut of all human emotion" and "thats why she does not feel for stefan as much as before" needs to shutup and smell the blloood (LOOOL) ...and stop making excuses

Im just going to take the time to acknowledge how seriously badass the delena fanbase/fans are ,seriously damon would be proudd LOOOOL ,i say this because i have always been a delena shabiki but i never joined any shabiki klabu ect ect ,but now that i have i realise that the delena fanbase have so much people fanbases kinda against them ,eg bamon mashabiki because they want damon to be with elena and ,stelena mashabiki because they want elena to be with stefan which is natural when people ship other things to one another ,but we kinda have it from every corner ,and i feel like sometimes those fanbases do kinda jiunge forces ,eg,when it comes to voting for favourite couples ,eg,bamon mashabiki will vote for stelenaa JUST so that delena mashabiki dont win ,but somehow the delena mashabiki alone with no help what so ever make it on their own,which is what makes us so Badass !!...just getting emotional abit ,but its good to sit down and realize that sooooo many ppl are rooting for delena its kinda amazing

So basically I'm being an opinionated bitch, kahaba again and I can't help but right this makala and bitch, kahaba some zaidi about certain issues I have looool . I was just watching the first few episode of vampire diaries agen because I miss it so much looool , and I was just rewatching how Stefan and elena met ect ect ,and agen not just because I am delena shabiki but I feel as though Stefan and elena got together for all the wrong reasons ,this has probably been discussed before but I don't care I just want to get this of my chest ...Stefan was totally attracted to elena because she looked like Katherine ,whoever denies it is a fool who is in denial ...why is it that Stefan someone who had been living in secret for years and years comes out of secret ,compelles the headmistress of to give him admission in a school ,which has that one girl that happens to look like Katherine , i mean he doesn't know what her personality is like ,as a matter of fact he didn't even know it wasn't Katherine for a while ...so how is it that wewe want to know someone who wewe know nothing about ,in terms if personality au anything else ,but this someone happens to look like the girl who wewe fell in upendo with over a...
